Well, I was medically dropped from the last RASP class. Obviously I can't give too any details as to what I was doing in the class, but I went down as a heat casualty immediatly after completing a ruck march. The EMS came and the whole nine yards. I gave it my all and didn't quit, but I won't be able to attend another class until winter time, so it looks like I'll be going to the "needs of the Army." I really hope I don't end up at a mechanized unit.
Honestly, if you want to complete the course, its not really a monumental task. It just takes some intestinal fortitude and balls.
I would like to attend the next class, but I don't think I will be allowed. I didn't voluntarily withdraw, so I can go back if I want to.
Good luck to all who plan on attending and thank you to all the Rangers here at ArmyRanger.com.

That's a tough break. Dust yourself off and drive on.

What Bill said. Head up, chest out. Another chance comes your way "go for it". In the meantime harden your body and learn all you can. No worries Bro, happens to the best.
